The Help !

Everything that you go through in life is not soley for you. It is sometimes a testament for someone else that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Every heart ache, every disappointment, every time you have fallen short can help someone in the future. Think. Tere is someone waiting on you to get your life together so that you can inspire them. Ask God to direct you. Don't be ashamed of your testimony. For, the Bible says we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony. That passage was in the book of Revelation referring to those around the throne. However, we can apply that to our own lives as well. Lastly, when you help someone else, God will meet your needs.

Understanding !

The Bible says in all thy getting, get an understanding. Understanding is associated with knowledge and wisdom. Think of them as the treacherous three. Once the forces connect, an enlightenment begins. We do not have to know everything about everything! We need to know that God is at the forefront of all of our dealings. He will direct us. Sometimes this process is blind to us just like our forefather Abraham. We are God's creation. Let's be open to His will even if we do not know all the logistics. Let's understand God will see us through.  Be blessed.

R.E.M

No one over the age of 18 months falls asleep. If a man tells you he neglected to do something because he fell asleep, more than likely he meant he went to sleep. That means he went to sleep knowing that you two had discussed something and did not want to complete the task. Simple. Let's keep it to a workable level. We believe things because it makes us feel good. However, as long as we know the truth that is all that matters. So next time we don't want to do something a guy asks us to do, we should fall asleep. We should fall asleep and forget to come through, forget to call, neglect to come home, and see what the guy's reply is.

Grateful !

We have access to the World at our finger tips. If you are reading this, you have access to technology. We take so much for granted in our lives. Please be grateful. It is unrealistic to ask you not to complain. When you are complaining however, make sure u know that it could always be worse. You could always be working with less. And for that, we are grateful!

Voter Law

     In Pennsylvania there has been a new voter law that passed which requires voters to have proper identification prior to voting. Some consider this an act of oppression. I agree to an extent. However, why is it an issue when it is time go get proper identification. People who are complaining about identification are the same ones not complaining about the price of Nikes or Timberland boots that don't keep your feet warm in the winter. Women don't complain about the Africans charging 180 for hair styles. We need our priorities in order. Get your id. November 11,2012 is all that matters.

Bump It

     Bump by Sensationnel provides a great alternative to 27 piece hair by Harlem 125. This hair comes with a slight bend at the end. This hair is great for styles that the client desires to wear down but not touching their neck at all. Bump can be worn right out the pack if need be. This hair can be re-curled and is versatile. This hair can create the Tony Braxton nineties look or the Osborne mom look. Either way, one pack will suffice for a great full sewin. Overall, the hair is a good quality for the economical price.

Inspired !

One thing we can attest to is that God is able to surpass out finite thinking according to the power that works within us. As women we often give out so much at home, work, and in our respective place in ministry and worship. Today's message is simple. Let's be proactive and anticipate the move of God in our lives the same way we expect Him to work in others lives. Its is not that we cannot pray for others. However, today we must prepare our hearts and minds to receive something that is new to us from God. How do we prepare? We must gear our hearts altruistically to the Spirit. Just like getting ready for a date. We have to make sure we can send up a sweet savory smell to our God. It may be easy, it may be hard. Just think of the the end result of blessing and delight of the Lord and everything will come together.

Keep it a 100

                                                                   How many times have we depended on our hair stylist to give us a functional pretty hair-do? What troubles me is stylists who will put any color, any style, any length hair in the client's head. Everything doesn't look good on everyone. Be honest, really dark people need to watch which hues they wear. Fat round faces should wear styles that elongate the face. People who need to exercise shouldn't get glued weaves. Just as someone who sports ponytails shouldn't have semi short hair. Their style should be long enough to pull off their face. We could go on and on.

     It is good integrity on the part of the stylist to inform a client if the style probably won't fit their face or life. Consults are still important even it it isn't natural hair. No matter what, t'a the job of a hair stylist to keep it a hundred with the client.

A Husband, a Boyfriend, and a Boothang

The song "No Lie" has 2 Chainz rappin about having one wife, a mistress, and a girlfriend. This roll call is the favorite line of many men who consider themselves in the mix. I want to imagine for a minute. What would life be like if I wanted a husband, a boyfriend, and a boothang? Could i make a song and not be called a hoe. It never ceases to amaze me that when men are requesting adding fun to things that seem dull and routine, its always a few women. The concept of a male concubine seems delightful to me. In fact, if I was a rapper, I would grab my crotch with many attractive men gawking over me. Not to mention I would smoke a cigar and throw cash around. The nicest guys I would smack their face with the cash and let them count it for me with their private parts showing. Only men will never put themselves out there like that.

My Boys Peter and Paul

     The phrase rob Peter to pay Paul sticks out in my mind. Paul was one of the most influential preachers and missionaries in Christendom. While Peter walked with the Jesus that Paul saw in a glorious vision. They were on the same team!
     I digress. You know your poor when you are taking $20 from each bill to free up funds for an unforeseen emergency. You know you are poor when you mark all paydays. As a matter of fact you are excited to see months with three pays!(biweekly pay) You know you don't have any money when you find a debit card with $1 on it so you can get gas now and deposit the money before the charge posts. You know funds are tight when you are either selling or purchasing food stamps. We have all done it! Lastly, if you feel that none of this is applicable we have something for you. Unofficial members of the bourgeoisie will search for a high priced dress that wasi worn once to return for the cash. In the end, we all have been strapped for cash. How we handle it is our business as long as it resolves our matters.

If Women Sold Drugs

     We all heard men who have been incarcerated say "I been to jail and I ain't goin' back". The amazing thing about the statement is they never set out to get locked up from the beginning. Who really goes out just to get picked up by the police? I suppose the person who continually does the activity that granted them jail time from the beginning.
     Consider the show "Weeds" which 8 have never seen. A woman sells marajuana. I wonder would the worrld be different if mainly women sold drugs? Would our men sit home while we use their car to "take care of business?" Would our men stash our illegal drugs or weapons? Would our men even believe we sold drugs all night when we returned home countless mornings with nothing to show for? Would our men make the home accessible for our girls and our vulgar talk? Would men buy us packs and help us re-up when we didn't have the money? Lastly, would men come see us and accept our prison phone calls when everything has gone awry? I could go on and on, but inquiring minds want to know.
